Everyone talks about him being a cancer, but Ive never seen any thing in the media about. So I probably missed something. I was loving me some orly in April while it lasted, but it was inevitable he would fail. His OBP is something like .274.....thats so horrible for somebody with no power I can hardly comprehend it. Not to mention his defense, bad base-running and contact skills are well below average, and have totally eroded.

my gawd, this lineup makes me want to just gouge my eyes out. absolutely vomitous with a capital ugh!!! where's hafner??? is he being traded today??? (tongue in cheek) hee-hee!!!

no but seriously though, i swear if santana makes an error at first base that causes the tribe to give up multiple unearned runs today, i think i might just have to rip out my spleen. ever since that one giants game in which he committed back-to-back errors leading to 3 giant runs (literally and figuratively) in a 4-3 defeat-snatched-out-of-the-jaws-of-victory, i just cringe every time i see the "1b" beside his name in the lineup. in fact, i think i just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Cabrera's looked like he hasn't given a shit for a week or more now. Been awful at the plate since the Break. Maybe this is the wake-up call he needs. He's THE leader now for this young IF. Time for him to step up.

We're really gonna rely on Marson and Santana to get us to October. RIIIIGHT...

If I were the front office, I would take my chances with Choo being back soon and forget Ludwick. Go get Ianetta. His OBP and decent power trumps Marson's ability to throw out 50 percent of basestealers. And I am to the point where I do not want Santana playing c any longer. If anything, I hope he's our dh by 2013. Meanwhile, Marson is NOT going to be Alomar nor Victor...he can't even sniff Anus Diaz. He's like having Andy Allanson all over again...no stick, but can throw out Jesus.
